Back To 1995

   Chapter 357 Hunting

   At this time, Wall Street, as well as Internet technology companies in Silicon Valley, are watching the diving performance of Double Click Company.

Creamer "follows the law", and with one order, an Internet company whose market value rose to $2.8 billion, the stock price dropped from $19 to $9, and then plunged to $5. !

  Double-click, the stock price rose from four dollars to nineteen dollars, and the market value also exceeded 2.8 billion dollars, but on this day, all were gone.

At the close of the Nasdaq, Creamer shouted again, threatening to give Double-click Company a week. In short, within a week, if Double-click Company cannot meet his requirements and pay huge dividends, Song Yang and Whitman and other executives, leaving Double-click, etc., he will continue to short Double-click!

  According to the requirements of American Federal Securities, if the stock price is lower than one dollar, it will be warned and forced to delist.

  Before the outside world, there was some disapproval of Creamer's threat to delist Double-click, thinking that he was speaking harshly.

   But now, in just one day, Creamer has wiped out the double-click company's $2.1 billion market value, and the repurchase of tens of millions of dollars still can't stop Creamer's threat.

The Internet companies that are in full swing are like being poured cold water after the double-click company's stock price dives. If Creamer really makes the double-click company's stock price slump for a period of time, then the double-click company may delist. of!

When   Double-click faced Creamer, he was so "vulnerable". Although there were many Wall Street institutions behind it, they were beaten like this. Whether it was Wall Street or Silicon Valley technology companies, they were all caught off guard.

The DoubleClick companies in Houston and New York are all gloomy and gloomy at the moment. The management is sitting in the office and refreshes the web page casually. On Yahoo, AOL, Netscape and other websites, there will be negative news about DoubleClick Company, as well as various Alarmist title.

   "Double-click is only one week away from delisting!"

   Even on the brother company's side, ICQ's just-launched portal has published this news on the homepage. I don't know if ICQ's editors didn't review it, or whether it was deliberately invigorating. Anyway, the title appeared on the homepage of ICQ's portal.

The phone rings from time to time, most of them are the media and reporters who want to come to interview, the executives of the company, and from time to time they look in the direction of the department manager and the director's office, but until it gets dark, the executives of the company are all There was no movement, Song Yang, Whitman, Ryan and other characters who decided to double-click the company's fate were also holding up the battle-free card, and they were collectively invisible.

  Double-click's board of directors and co-presidents remained silent, causing a pessimistic atmosphere to spread inside the company, and media reports were already overwhelming.

  The media in the Internet, technology, finance, finance and other industries are reporting on Creamer's battle with Double-click, and it is likely to overwhelm the news of Double-click.

Even the other major shareholders of Double Click Company, as well as several companies closely related to Song Yang, do not know whether it is a coincidence or artificial, WPP Group, Yahoo, Enron, Telephone and Telegraph Group, etc., at the end of the session, all have fell.

   This was not a big deal at first, after all, it is normal for stock prices to rise and fall, but at this juncture, everything will be magnified several times!

   Double-clicking the company for a while may really delist the company, and there are even rumors of the collapse of Yahoo, Enron and other companies.

More importantly, shortly after the Nasdaq closed, someone began to appear, as an investor in Double-click, and began to publicly shout in the media, asking Song Yang, Whitman and others to leave Double-click to satisfy their needs. Creamer's request is to avoid the delisting of the company, otherwise, once the company is delisted, investors will start a class action lawsuit against major shareholders such as Song Yang.

In just one day, it began to become a crowd of demons. When Double-click had the upper hand in the New York court with the Trade Commission, the media in New York and Wall Street were touting Double-click, and even ranked Song Yang in the technology industry. Number one on the power list.

   But now, the attitude of the media has undergone a 180-degree change, and they have criticized Song Yang, Whitman and others for their inaction, which has brought Double-click to the point where it is today.

As for Creamer, it is naturally touted. The Wall Street Journal, the New York Times and other media have put Creamer's photos on the homepage, and TV news reports are all about Creamer's various news and speech.

  The words he said casually were analyzed by various experts and the media for a long time to study the meaning of Creamer's words.

As for the prediction that Creamer's hedge fund will reach the level of Soros's Quantum Fund and Carl Icahn's Icahn Company, there is no doubt that Creamer will be the next to make waves on Wall Street. The presence!

  In a luxury hotel apartment in New York, at this moment, a large group of small models and stars walk through it.

   In the middle of the hotel apartment, a man was standing in the middle of the room, holding a wine glass and scolding Fang Qiu, surrounded by a group of people, all looking at the man like believers.

   Sabina, who is in the hotel at the moment, is a young model who has been in many top parties in New York. She has seen this group of "believers", and she is also surprised by the attitude of the middle man.

She knew that many of these "believers" were big names in New York, and the last time they were very expensive people. Among them, the man who always wore a straw-brimmed hat and dressed as a farmer, but in the surrounding area of ​​New York , owns a farm of nearly 100 acres.

  It is the accumulation of generations of men to own a farm like this around the Big Apple City, where an inch of land is worth a lot of money. With this farm, even if he is lying down, he is enough to enter the upper class of New York!

   There were several other characters, Eberna recognized, one of them was a tall, white bear-like man who was the main force of the NHL Hockey League and the New York Rangers.

Elena had seen the figure of this man on TV. He was playing the role of a thug on the court. He played against each other several times in each game. The fierce big white bear on the ice hockey rink was listening intently at the moment. The man with the wine glass said something, and his face showed excitement from time to time.

   Creamer took a sip of the drink, the spicy drink stimulated Creamer's nerves and made him even more excited.

The    plan went smoothly as expected. Double-clicking on the company's side had to resist, just like a piece of paper, it was pierced by him with a light jab.

  The people present today are partly the head of the hedge agency who shorted with Creamer on Wall Street, and partly are clients who have invested in Creamer's hedge fund. He wants to let these people know about today's record.

It is also in order for them to better cooperate with their own plans. If the Double-click company wants not to delist, it can only raise the stock price. However, in the face of the current situation, Creamer does not think that the Double-click company has the strength to fight back. It can only be harvested by Creamer like a leek!

   "Today is just the beginning, tomorrow we will let the double-click share price officially drop to a dollar!

   Today's Creamer Hedge Fund's return exceeded 36%, with a profit of more than $170 million! "

   Creamer revealed to a group of clients that today’s earnings, which were close to 200 million US dollars, made everyone present, including those models, look at Creamer and their eyes began to change.

Grass-brimmed hat farmers, ice hockey players and other people who invested in Creamer's hedge fund, just a simple calculation, they know that they have made more than 15% today, which is better than saving money in the bank, or doing something Investment, but the huge profits, even a few people regret it, the investment is too little, otherwise, I am afraid that this day, I am afraid that I will earn more than millions of dollars.

There are a lot of people with flickering eyes, obviously wanting to find Creamer and make another investment, let alone these people, just look at the eyes of the models and starlets around you, you can know that even they are a little jealous .

   Shorting is indeed huge profits, not to mention that Creamer has also added leverage, as long as the stock price falls by double-clicking, you can get double the return.

   Creamer arranged a plan for a group of Wall Street hedge fund managers and his clients, that is, to continue shorting tomorrow, forcing Double-click to save the stock price of real money and let them continue to cut leeks.

   "Now, let's enjoy this moment, and when this program is over, I hope you will drive the truck, come to Creamer Hedge Fund, and collect your knife!"

   Creamer raised his wine glass and said to the crowd in the hotel apartment. Then he picked up a large knife and threw it at the models and starlets. Suddenly, the knife fluttered in the room, becoming more and more intoxicated.

   "Do you think Creamer can win this time?!"

In a mansion in New York, Carl Icahn is sitting with his "old partner" Michael Milken, who is the king of junk bonds. Great help.

When it fought against Philippe Oil, the latter had high cash reserves to fight against Carl Icahn's hostile takeover. As a result, the junk bond king raised a huge amount of money for Carl Icahn. Milken is a small money maker. In the 1900s, he raised $93 billion in junk bonds, an average of $10 billion a year. Milken's shot allowed Carl Icahn to defeat all competitions and put Philip Oil is in the bag.

The two cooperated tacitly. Milken was responsible for issuing junk bonds to raise money, and Carl Icahn was responsible for investment and acquisition. Both of them made a lot of money, but they were tricked by Milken. In this way, it is unknown, anyway, the US knife has already arrived in the pockets of Carl Icahn, Milken and others.

However, if you walk too much at night, you will encounter ghosts. After the golden age of junk bonds passed, Milken also fell into trouble. After being arrested, he was sentenced to ten years and fined Milken $1.1 billion. ” After only one year in federal prison, Milken was released immediately after the limelight faded. After he came out, he was still a billionaire in America.

Now Carl Icahn and Milken are still closely related. Although Milken is banned from playing junk bonds, Milken's connections and connections are still there. His theory of making money is still prevalent on Wall Street. One of Wall Street's biggest names, just can't appear in front of the stage.

Hearing Carl Icahn's words, Milken, who was just fifty years old this year, but had already started his retirement life ahead of schedule, shook his head and said that he didn't know. The scene that he was sought after by the people back then.

   After looking at it for a while, Milken suddenly smiled at Carl Icahn and said, "But DoubleClick is not a "junk stock" company!"
